I started collecting around 1960 and began to buy coins from dealers around 1963. I sold a lot of pieces in the early 1970s when I thought I was a...
If you are dumb enough to be happy with an “unreasonable facsimile,” then buy it by all means.
Holed, plugged and cleaned. I don’t buy pieces like this so I can’t comment on the value.
Now I understand. It is noted that this Civil War token is issued by an African-American merchant. That drives the price way up. Tokens issued by...
